Photo Diary: Summer Lavender Harvest Party

       Our friend Cheryl invited us to her lovely home in San Rafael for her annual lavender harvest party this week. Cheryl always plans fabulous events and this one included lavender ice cream, hat decorating, a fortune teller, lavender wand making, and many more fun activities, all raising money to help cancer survivors in need. Enjoy these photos from our sweet smelling summer afternoon in the garden :)

Ari's Bday Celebration on Muir Beach

       On Sunday evening, we met with one of our favorite people, Ari, to celebrate his birthday on Muir Beach. After we photographed a wedding on Saturday in Sonoma, it was wonderful to relax with friends the next day. The wind and sand were mighty powerful, but that didn't stop us from roasting s'mores and eating delicious tacos at sunset. Here's a peek into our fun evening with dear friends :)
